Our Wedding

Dylan and Grace often say their love story is like a romcom; specifically, "She's All That" because Dylan infamously said he was going turn Grace "cool".Well, he failed, and now they're both jigsaw completing, glasses-wearing, silly buggers who want to be in bed before midnight on their wedding day, thank you very much. The dogs are waiting. Like every rom-com, Dylan vehemently instructed Grace not to fall in love with him because as soon as COVID was over he would be on the first plane out of Adelaide. Grace told Dylan he had nothing to worry about because he wasn't her type. Needless to say, they were both wrong...But the full story is reserved for the ceremony.

Our Story

Photos

She may be 8 days younger than Grace, but Hannah has "big sister" energy.

Hannah has been helping out our bride since 2009 when she received a random Facebook wall post which read "Correct me if I'm wrong, but you know how to put movies on an Ipod Classic?". 
She's been helping Grace ever since; not just with Apple Tech support, but with everything from job applications to life advice. 
So it's about time she gets credited that Grace's wedding (and whole life, actually) would be much more chaotic and far less enjoyable without her.

While they don't agree on everything (specifically the "Normal People" TV show and the 2025 Grammys Album of the year winner)... they will always be besties.

Grace specifically wants to shout out Hannah's patience. It is not an uncommon occurrence for Grace to send a lengthy, 7 minute voicenote to Hannah asking for her advice (or worse, 7 one minute voicenotes in quick succession). Hannah sends a considered, measured, and lengthy response after much thought and deliberation; only to hear back "Oh yeah, don't worry about that, I already did the option you said not to do".
And yes, she's still there helping Grace when that option predictably fails.

The year is 2008 - Dylan's velcro wallet is chained to his baggy jeans, his DC skate shoes are held together with Jagermeister & Red Bull & he's growing out his shaggy unwashed fringe. Dylan's just been booked to DJ at The Broadway Hotel in Glenelg alongside another up-n-coming suburban DJ superstar...

Enter Nova91.9FM's most outgoing street team member Ryley -  big hair, big personality & even bigger... aspirations.

Ryley's always had Dylan's back: delivering calorie dense burgers to Dylan's hotel room during COVID quarantine, teaching him how to graciously face-plant down Japan's fiercest ski runs, luring Dylan into Thailand's deepest jungles with the promise of free Chang™ beer & even showing Dylan how to efficiently de-construct a warehouse roller door by simply driving through it. 

Not only that, back in 2020 Ryley handed Dylan a professional Nikon DSLR camera, saying "Your mobile phone pics are pretty good, I reckon you should give photography a proper go". God-tier encouragement.

Ryley can even take full credit for being the one to introduce Grace & Dylan on a hike in December 2019.

Almost all of you have had to travel from interstate or overseas, taken time off work, hired a babysitter, or already helped us enormously in one way or another to be by our side. We have no expectations of gifts, just write us a lovely card to read and cry at when the day is over.
